Feature → Business Impact → Application: Die-cast aluminum housing delivers robust protection against corrosion and impact in washdown and outdoor industrial environments, reducing maintenance costs and downtime in chemical plants and offshore facilities. This translates to fewer replacements and lower lifecycle expenditures, making it ideal for hazardous locations where reliability matters. FEATURE integrated Type V optical distribution provides wide, uniform illumination with fewer fixtures, improving worker safety and inspection accuracy in oil refineries and mining sites. The 28W driver delivering about 3000 lumens at 123 lm/W offers energy efficiency with high efficacy, supporting sustainability targets and energy rebates while maintaining strong light levels in large bays and production floors. Dimmable driver and wide input voltage (100-277 VAC / 127-250 VDC) simplify installation and enable compatibility with existing controls, reducing wiring and inventory complexity for plant engineers. In hazardous applications, NEC/CEC IECEx/ATEX compliance and IP66/NEMA 4X protection ensure ongoing performance in harsh conditions, helping compliance teams meet regulatory requirements while minimizing electrical risk. The guard type wire and ceiling mounting option streamline installation in overhead fixtures, enabling quick retrofits and safer maintenance in crowded spaces such as chemical processing lines and automated warehouses. With a 3/4 inch trade size and durable polycarbonate lens, operators gain reliable service life in demanding environments, supporting a lower total cost of ownership and predictable budgeting for facilities managers. Industry-specific context shows that long-life, rugged lighting like VMVL reduces maintenance windows, enabling higher overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) and improved facility reliability.

FAQs
Installers should plan for ceiling mounting in areas classified as hazardous. Verify voltage compatibility (100-277 VAC or 127-250 VDC), ensure IP66-rated seals and NEMA 4X housing are intact, and use the wire-guard option as needed. Follow Eaton installation sheets for driver dimming configuration and secure mounting hardware to a suitable ceiling structure to maintain environmental protection and safety compliance.
The fixture delivers approximately 3000 lumens with a 28W driver, achieving high efficacy around 123 lm/W. The dimmable driver enables proper light control to match task needs, reducing energy waste. With a power factor >0.90, it minimizes reactive power, supporting facility energy management goals and lowering operating costs over the luminaire’s life.
Yes. It is designed for Hazardous/Classified Locations with NEC/CEC IECEx/ATEX standards, supporting Class I Division 2 and Zone 2 ratings, plus Zone 21 per IECEx. The IP66 and NEMA 4X protection further ensure reliable operation in explosive-atmosphere environments such as chemical plants, refineries, and mining operations.
VMVL fixtures offer ceiling mounting with a 3/4" trade size, wire-guard options, and Type V optical distribution for broad coverage. They accept 100-277 VAC or 127-250 VDC inputs and feature a dimmable driver for compatibility with controls. Compatibility with the VMVL family simplifies upgrades, and the die-cast aluminum housing supports robust performance in harsh industrial settings.
Long service life and high IP/NEMA ratings reduce replacement cycles and maintenance downtime, improving overall equipment effectiveness. Energy efficiency lowers operating costs, and regulatory compliance reduces safety risks and potential penalties. For facilities with frequent inspections, this fixture provides predictable maintenance intervals and a strong return on investment through lower total cost of ownership.
